Oh, all right… I can’t resist having a third go at this week’s Photo Challenge, Let There Be Light! (The first two responses were here and here.)
The Tribute in Light, seen on our Hidden Harbor Tour on September 10, 2013.

Awww … that is so beautiful, and emotional. Do they turn that on on special occasions only, or is it on constantly?

Special occasions only—around the anniversary of 9/11, perhaps a few other times.

I’m glad that your shared the Twin Towers lights. I really love the one with the sailboat in front of the lights.

My favorite too. And still reasonably sharp—after that, it was really too dark to shoot, handheld from a moving boat…

Vladimir, all your photos for this week are so intense! I love them. The top photo of the NY night scenes echoes one of the photos I used for this week’s challenge.

I added a new blog and WordPress only lets me use rainbowspinnaker to sign in or comment. Until I figure out how to have curiositycafe as my response, here is the post http://www.curiositycafe.wordpress.com/2013/11/30/weekly-photo-challenge-let-there-be-light/

I think it will change if you change the “Web Address” in “My Account” and/or your Gravatar profile, although I haven’t tested it, since we have just the one blog…
Love your photos for the challenge, both of them! :-)

NYC does things in a BIG WAY but I am blown away by the design they went with for 9-11 horror simply to beams of light sent straight up into the heavens. Thanks for braving the crowds to give us a look from up here in Beantown

Yes, it’s a simple yet powerful idea—and even more importantly, didn’t require any planning or construction, both of which, in NYC, are a bureaucratic nightmare. The new Freedom Tower, now essentially finished, took more than a decade…

I do love simple statement pieces. Yes I am afraid so many towns and cities fall into that trap :(
